Info Title:
Longfellow Large Ore Body Opened
Colorado Spring, August 4.—One of the biggest ore bodies ever opened in the Cripple Creek district has been encountered in the bottom level of the Longfellow. At a depth of 225 feet below the collar and eight feet from the shaft a vein has been encountered and opened for better than four feet. The rock averages five ounces to the ton, which is indicative of one of the biggest ore shoots of that hill.
graphic for visual presentation of text Sinking is to be resumed as fast as possible for the extension of the big ore shoot that the Vindicator people are breaking in their eighth level adjoining, and which, if it continues to surface in the Longfellow, will yield thousands of dollars' worth of ore to the operators.
